Does the cork board and frame disassemble in order to get a map framed in between?

No, sorry, it's pretty tight, well made for a cork board and not meant to be taken apart.

It has to be taken apart and push the buttons to remove each sections. The original instructions should be available to reassemble it back.

No, the maps come "tied" together with cardboard casings at each end of the posters.

The glass desk top may be used by itself. As stated by a previous respondent, it is heavy and it has the metal pads which would sit off the wall. With black and bold color markers, the map would recede. I think it would make a very attractive dry-erase board. The weight would be the biggest concern.

We did our own framing by buying the right size frame and removing the glass--the whole point of the map is being able to continue scratching off countries you have visited. We secured the map using double-sided tape. It took two persons to tape it down starting from the center and smoothing out the map to the corners. Make sure you unroll and flatten the map before you place tape on the back and take tour time to prevent bubbles or crookrd placement on the frame backing. Looks great framed. We use a needle or pin to genly and slowly scratch. If you are not careful, it is easy to tear the paper or scratch the wrong area if it is small.

this is only the corkboard. in fact, it is just corrugated cardboard with a layer of cork on top. You can cut it to fit in the frame of your choice and then hang the frame. Or velcro/Command Strips directly on the back of the corkboard

no. I like the item, but be careful putting it together. The directions are incomplete and you can easily not have everything aligned,which can cause the wood to split.

This map was delivered in 3 sheets and is made to mount to a flat hard surface - like wallpaper. If you want to frame it you will need to first mount the map onto a very large flat board or boards. Then these boards will have to be laid up next to each other and bonded. I think you could use crown molding to frame it but you may have to do something to keep the boards the map is mounted to from sagging outward. Consult a professional framer and see how they would do this.

I went to Michael's and got a frame that is slightly bigger than the map. I used the black paper the frame came with to act as a background for the little bit of sides of the map that do not reach the frame. you can't tell, and everyone that comes into my office loves it. (sorry that phrasing is a little weird, let me know if i can clarify in any way)

I ordered the one with the frame. So i got it with the frame ready to hang. I have ordered us map at the same time and it came rolled.

Hi Teresa,I built a custom frame with the help of my dad. I got decorative molding from home depot and painted it, and nailed it on top of a frame we created from 2x1s. We used spray glue to mount the map to a 1/2" piece of foam core, big pink one from home depot. then we backed the map with brown paper and used framing tape to tape the map to the back of the frame...much like you see from custom framing places. This allows me to put pins in the map, as they stick in the foam backing, and i have a great looking frame around it as well. it is the main piece in my living room, and i always get positive comments from people about it...fun conversation piece. Hope this helps. gf Hi Teresa,I built a custom frame with the help of my dad. I got decorative molding from home depot and painted it, and nailed it on top of a frame we created from 2x1s.

I don't know. My guess is 'no' since it is difficult to keep its own pieces together in the first place.

no once it is assembled it requires disassembly for folding. I don't recommend doing that either.

I guess one of those really large poster frames would be fine. It's a nice map and doesn't necessarily need a frame.

I don't have it in an easily accessible area but it had slight distortion, probably due to the type of material used (appears to be acrylic/polycarb). I would say you can definitely make out the shapes of the components of the board, but I am not sure you would be able to read anything on the board, though if it was close to the case body (like a reversed sticker) you would probably would be able to.

No, the pieces are keyed and go together one way. (i.e. if you flipped it, the holes wouldn't match up for the sides.
